Here on Earth Page #3

Inviting you to their home after

everything that's happened.

Look. I come to work.

I do my job. Okay?

That's the deal I made.

My probation doesn't say anything...

about me sittin' around spittin' out

watermelon seeds with you people.

I gotta tell you, son.

I don't think you're gonna make

the summer with this attitude of yours.

I'm not your son.

No, you're not.

-[Patty]:
Grandpa!

-[Earl]:
Hey.!

- Whoa. How's my girl?

- Earl, missin' a great lunch here.

- I'll catch up.

- We have tons of food, baby.

Jo, appreciate this. Thank you.

You guys have been working

so hard, you deserve it.

Where's Sam?

Don't worry, I won't tell

anybody you actually ate.

I'd like it if you'd stop sulking

long enough to try.

- I'm not sulking.

- Oh, come on.

We invite you over for lunch.

And you decide to sit out here

like a really big baby.

And at what point did I give you the impression that

it was okay to come out here and insult me?

Stay away from Samantha.

Relax. I'm not makin'

a move on your girlfriend.

- You think I'm worried about that?

- Don't know, don't care.

Stay away from her.

Or what, exactly?

Listen, Richie. You don't want

to mess with me. All right?

Ooh. Scary.

I'm surprised you even botherwith a girlfriend,

you got such a good thing with those cows.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- Aw, come on.

You got yourself a regular harem out there.

Get your hands up their skirt every morning.

You serenade them every night.

That, or you're in love with a 600-pounder

who likes to chew her vomit.

- You know what I'm really doin' up there, Richie?

- What's that?

Your mother.

[Jasper]:
What's your problem, man?

[Malcolm]:
Hey!

[Earl]:
Hey!

Stop it!

What's the matter with you?

Come on. Get up.

Let's go. Let's go.

Hey, hey! You can quit right now.

Right now.

I quit.

You can't quit. It isn't a job.

It's a sentence! God.

- I'll talk with that kid.

- No, no! Earl.

Just wait. Let him go.

Let him cool off, okay?

You. Look at me. You know better.

Go to the truck. Now.

[Playing Awkwardly]

- [Sighs]

- [Exhales]

Albert. I expect you to know

that piece by next Tuesday. Okay.

- Okay.

- Okay. Get outta here.

Come and sit.

Dad already gave me

an earful, so, uh...

You still remember how to play?

[Jazz Phrase]

Music's always been our thing,

hasn't it?

You and me?

It'll always be something we share.

I imagine you think

Kelley's real lucky.

Gets to have all that money.

Seems to have the whole world

in his hands.

Ever consider maybe

you're the lucky one?

I didn't see a mother

in that courtroom.

[Thud]

- [Robin]:
You killed him.

Killed who?

What are you talkin' about?

You just threw him in the garbage!

- What did he ever do to you?

- Are we talkin' about the mouse?

You're just a jerk.

I'm never speaking to you again.

I'm just so sick of not being able

to buy good clothes around here.

So, you want to come

to Boston next week?

I'm hot.

I need to go get something to drink.

My sister hates you.

Why? She doesn't even know me.

Well, she hates you on principle.

I'm glad it's not personal.

What was that about?

I killed Ralph.

Oh. You could get arrested for that.

Will there be handcuffs?

Do you want handcuffs?

Depends on who's puttin' them on.

Probably the sheriff,

so don't get too excited.

Do you always bring

the sheriff on dates?

Not if I'm the one

who's breaking the law.

Meet me tonight.

Let's see what you got, slugger.

[Kelley]:
Okay.

Oh, there's a shot!

- [Kelley]:
It's a home run!

- That wasn't my best pitch.

-[Sam]:
Baseball's not really my sport.

- What is?

- Track.

- Really?

Running hurdles. I was pretty good,

but then...

cracking your kneecap

will change that one in a hurry.

Ouch.

Yeah.

I had a full ride to B.U.

So I'll just have to pay for college

the old-fashioned way now.

Student loans.

What's after college?

Probably med school.

Although I'd like to toy

with the idea...

of spending my whole life here in the woods,

writing poetry.

Yeah. Med school sounds a bit more practical.

There are worse things to be

than a swinger of birches.

You know that poem?

My favorite.

I heard your speech.

What?

I saw you walking.

And you followed me?

I liked it.

Honest.

It's a sad poem too,

though, isn't it?

Life is too much like a pathless wood

where your face burns and tickles.

The cobwebs, broken across it.

And one eye is weeping

from having a twig lash across.

I'd like to get away

from Earth a while,

and then come back to it

and begin over.

What are you thinking?

I was just thinking about that

ham sandwich you brought me the other day.

What about it?

I was just wondering

if there was mustard, or...

- That was nice.

- Nice?

- There was a lot going on in "nice."

- Like what?

- [Patty]; What name should I give him?

- [Jo]:
His name should be Mikey.

- [Patty]; How about Mikey Red?

- [Jo]:
Mikey Red is a very good name.

Mom. What about this one?

Ah, it's okay.

It doesn't thrill me.

- Mom. Mommy, I have to go tinkle.

-[Jennifer]:
Oh

I'll take her. It's all right.

- Thanks, Mom.

- Okay.

- What, already? You keep staring at me.

- Mm-hmm.

You're seeing him, aren't you?

- Who?

- Don't even think about denying it.

I know that look, Sam.

I have had that look.

We just hung out. No big deal.

Are you crazy?

You know what those Rallston guys are like.

- No. I know what your Rallston guy was like.

- Excuse me.

Trust me.

They are all the same.

You don't think I know

what you're feeling?

Hmm? He seems exciting to you, different, maybe

even a little dangerous.

Believe me, honey.

I have been there.

- I'm not marrying him, Jen. We're just...

- Hanging out.

Right.

Right.

[Crowd Cheering]

[Shop Bell Jingles]

[TV Continues, Indistinct]

Hey. I thought

we were gonna meet later.

Well, when I saw you

walk in, I couldn't wait.

I told Malcolm

I was walking home.

- Your, uh, good buddy Pete's up there.

- Yeah, I know.

So I can't buy a soda?

- Come here.

- What are you doing?

[Door Opens]

[Vanessa]:
Hey, baby.

Hey, Vanessa.

Look what we got here.

- Sam, what are you doing?

- Nothing. I'm not doing anything.

- You're cheatin' on my boy.

- Let's go. Okay?

Come on.

I don't want to get

between you and another guy.

That's just not cool.

I know.

Things are different

with me and Jasper now.

We're not little kids anymore.

And things change, right?

Does he know they've changed?

Let's not talk about this right now.

I wish we could do what Frost says.

Leave Earth for a while

and come back and begin all over.

- It would be so nice.

- Nice.

Nice.

- What you doin'?

- Getting away for a while.

- Florida.

- What's Florida?

- The southernmost tip of you.

- Mm-hmm.

Mmm.

Florida tickles.

- Then let's move north, shall we?

- All right.

Got Georgia peaches.

And South Carolina.

A very beautiful state.

This is North Carolina.

I move further north,

and I find Maryland.

[Kelley]:
Mmm.

- Seems Maryland tickles too.
